Power IQ manages any number of Raritan’s Dominion PX and third-party rack PDUs.

The system is open database compliant (ODBC) and can be integrated with your current data warehouse and enterprise reporting system.

Make Informed Capacity Planning Decisions

Power IQ allows you to accurately monitor and measure key power data. This data can be used to manage current needs as well as help you plan for future data center growth. Capabilities include:

  • Collecting and grouping actual current draw, so you can compare it to rated capacity
  • Collecting and grouping actual power load to update design assumptions
  • Monitoring trends to understand future needs
  • Finding hot spots, allowing you to eliminate them by making informed add and move decisions
